Polysilicon project in Oman gets $200m financing loan
United Solar Polysilicon has signed a $200 million loan to build a renewable energy plant in Oman’s northern town of Sohar.
The advance from Oman Arab Bank will go towards a polysilicon manufacturing factory for solar power applications in the free zone area next to the Sohar port, the company said in a statement to AGBI.
The project will have a production capacity of 100,000 tonnes of polysilicon per annum, which is a vital ingredient in solar panels.
Operations at the 160,000 square metre plant are expected to start in the second quarter of next year.
At full capacity, it will produce enough polysilicon annually to supply solar panels producing 40 gigawatts of power.
“This project is one of the important contributions of Oman’s Vision 2040 to promote green hydrogen production and cut down the cost of power generation in the country,” said a statement from the ministry of commerce, industry and investment promotion.
Oman is targeting a 40 percent contribution from renewables to its electricity requirements by 2040 as it looks to wean its economy off a reliance on hydrocarbons and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise
The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
